This Owner’s Manual contains all of the information required to operate the CAPTUS® 4000e.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Thyroid Uptake
Thyroid uptake is a measurement of the ratio of the amount of radioactive material
concentrated in the thyroid gland to the amount of radioactive material administered to the
patient. Thyroid uptake measurements are generally used to determine conditions of
hyperthyroidism. High uptake results are found in Graves’ disease, toxic nodular goiter, and
stimulator secreting tumors or can be TSH-induced. Low uptake results are found with
thyroid hormone secretion in ectopic tumors, hormonal release in thyroid injury, after intake
of thyroid hormone, or in Jod-Basedow disease. During the treatment of thyroid cancer by I-
131 ablation, uptake measurements are used to monitor thyroid activity.
The CAPTUS® 4000e system will store patient demographic and dosage information, count
data for both the administered dosage and the patient, decay correct all count data, calculate
thyroid uptake results, and store all of this information in the thyroid uptake database.
Regions of Interest have been defined for three isotopes, I-131, I-123, or Tc-99m. If normal
values have been entered, results exceeding these values will be flagged. All of the patient
information may be printed. The thyroid uptake software has been designed to accommodate
a variety of different counting protocols, using either capsules or liquid dosages.
2-2 FUNCTIONAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION July 16
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Wipe Test
The Wipe Test measures radioactive contamination for nuclear medicine departments and
laboratories, as mandated by state and federal radiation safety requirements.
Note: A Drilled Probe for the Collimator or an optional external Well Counter is required for
Wipe measurements.
Lab Tests
Urine Tests
Schilling Test
The Schilling Test utilizes Cobalt 57 labeled Vitamin 12 and is used to determine B-
12 deficiencies from either malabsorption, lack of intrinsic factor (pernicious anemia),
or intraintestinal destruction. The test entails collection of urine for 24 or 48 hours
after the oral administration of radioactive labeled vitamin B-12. The ratio of excreted
to administered Co57 is calculated. If the initial results indicate a reduced amount of
excreted vitamin, the test is repeated with a second sample of labeled B-12 and
intrinsic factor. For Schilling Test I, abnormal results are generally less than 8%-10%.
Normal range is generally 11% to 26%. For Schilling Test II, no change indicates
malabsorption, while an improved percentage indicates pernicious anemia.
Blood Tests
Blood Volume Tests
Blood Volume determinations involving radioactive tagging are most frequently used
in specific disease conditions when the hematocrit may not accurately estimate true
blood volume. Such conditions include extensive trauma or burn patients, certain
types of anemia, and polycythemia. Most frequently used radioactive tracers are
protein labeled I125 for plasma measurements and Cr51 tagged RBCs for red cell
mass determinations.
RBC Survival Test
RBC survival determination involving radioactive tagging is most frequently used in
diagnosis of hemolytic anemia. The CAPTUS® 4000e software and default counting
parameters follow the testing protocol outlined in the Mallinckrodt RBC Survival
Instructions that utilize Sodium Chromate Cr51 Injections. The software standardizes
the 24-hour sample to 100% survival, and automatically decay corrects each
subsequent sample. This permits the user to measure each sample as soon as it is
collected. For this reason, all sample volumes must be the same. Each sample must
also have a hematocrit (HCT) measurement. The subsequent samples are corrected
for any differences in hematocrit.
July 16 FUNCTIONAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 2-3
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Bioassay
All staff members who work with Iodine-131, Iodine-125, or Iodine-123 need to have regular
Bioassay measurements taken to monitor exposure levels. Most state and federal radiation
safety regulations mandate that these thyroid measurements be taken periodically.
The CAPTUS® 4000e uses one bioassay protocol, which is user-defined. Before performing
bioassay measurements on the staff, the staff member names and ID numbers should be
added to the database and parameters for the bioassay protocol should be set up.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The CAPTUS® 4000e is a PC based application running on the Windows® operating system.
The basic Thyroid Uptake system consists of the following:
• Floor Stand or Optional Table Top Stand
• TUS Collimator
• Isolation Transformer
• NaI (sodium iodide) Detector with Detector Socket Base
Note: Two versions of detectors are available: Flat Face or Drilled.
• All-in-One Touchscreen Computer System with software installed to switch inputs and
perform multi-channel analysis
• CAP-MCA hardware
• Printer
• Cables for connecting Detector, CAP-MCA, etc.
• 15 foot power cord with hospital grade plug
• Windows 8.1 or later,
• CAPTUS® 4000e Software Installation CD including Owner’s Manual
• Optional Well Counter with drilled Well Detector
Detector
The CAPTUS® 4000e system is equipped with one or two NaI (Tl) (Thallium-activated
Sodium Iodide) crystal and photomultiplier tube detector assemblies, a 1024 channel MCA
(Multi-Channel Analyzer), along with associated electronics and electronic controls which
provide power and amplification of the pulses generated by the detectors, as well as software
modules which record, analyze, manipulate, and store the measured data.
Since NaI crystals are hygroscopic, the detector assemblies are hermetically sealed with an
aluminum coating. If the seal is broken, then water will be absorbed by the crystal, causing
deterioration of its measurement capabilities, and eventually it will require replacement. For
this reason, always handle the detector with care. Avoid scratching the surface with metal
objects such as pens.
2-4 FUNCTIONAL & TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION July 16
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
When a gamma or x-ray from a radioactive source reaches the NaI crystal, it collides with the
electrons in the crystal matrix and transfers energy, primarily through Compton interaction.
The excited electron releases this energy as visible light in direct proportion to its absorbed
energy. For this reason, NaI detectors are classified as scintillation detectors. The higher the
energy of the incident ray, the more Compton collisions and consequently the more visible
light emissions will be measured before all of the energy is absorbed. These sequential
emissions of light for each incident ray generated from the sequential Compton collisions
appear to the measuring system as a single light pulse. The intensity of the pulse is directly
proportional to the energy of the incident gamma or x-ray. The light is eventually directed
toward the photomultiplier tube, either by the direction in which it was emitted or by reflection
from the interior of the aluminum housing. The photomultiplier tube, which is optically
connected to the sodium iodide crystal, converts the visible light pulses into electrical energy
and amplifies the signal through a series of dynodes. The resultant electrical signal is directly
proportional to the intensity of the incident light pulse. Therefore, the pulse height generated
by the system is directly proportional to the energy of the incident gamma or x-ray detected
by the system.
Multi-Channel Analyzer
A Multi-Channel Analyzer records the number and height of the electrical pulses generated
by the system, divides the pulses into groups based upon pulse height, and provides a
visible picture or spectrum of the pulses as well as count information. The CAPTUS® 4000e
divides the pulses into 1024 groups or channels. Since pulse height is directly related to the
energy of the incident photon, the spectrum displays the pulse heights as a graph of pulses
or counts on the vertical scale and energy on the horizontal scale. By matching the displayed
spectrum to the decay scheme of an isotope, positive identification of the radioactive source
can be achieved.
Electronics associated with the process include the high voltage power supply, amplifiers,
and gain adjustments. The high voltage power supply provides voltage to the photomultiplier
tube for the light to electrical impulse conversion and amplification process. The amplifiers
linearly amplify the electrical signal produced by the photomultiplier tube before the signal is
passed to the MCA. The pulse height remains proportional to the energy of the incident ray.
The gain controls the amount of amplification that is performed by the card, and is adjustable
by the user.
The spectral display also has adjustments which control the pulse height that include zero
adjust and lower level discriminators (threshold). The zero adjust controls the channel used
for 0 pulse height or 0 energy. The threshold sets the limit for the lowest pulse height to be
analyzed.

INTRODUCTION
The CAPTUS® 4000e software runs on the Microsoft Windows® operating system and follows
standard Windows® interface conventions. If you are familiar with running Windows® based
programs, then you should find the CAPTUS® 4000e a very user friendly and easy to use
program. If you have never used a Windows® based program before, please read the next
section in this chapter carefully. Windows® uses very consistent techniques for user
interaction. These techniques are visual and generally oriented toward use of a pointing
device, such as a mouse or trackball. In most cases there are alternate keyboard techniques
for accomplishing the same task.
The system includes an all-in-one touchscreen computer system. Therefore, selections
throughout the program can be made using the included pointing device, your finger or a
Stylus.
WINDOWS OPERATING CONVENTIONS
Common Controls and Techniques
The CAPTUS® 4000e, like all Windows based programs, is task oriented. Each task to be
performed will consist of one or more dialog boxes, similar to that shown in Figure 3-1. Each
screen will have various controls on it, which perform functions when selected with the
pointing device or when selected from the keyboard. When you are finished with all of the
tasks on a given screen, selecting the Done or Exit button will return you to the previous
screen.
August 15 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3-1
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Windows Controls
The most common Windows controls are described below. When controls are selected, they
cause functions or actions to be performed. A control can be selected in several ways;
• Using the pointing device – Positioning the pointing device cursor over the control
and clicking the left pointing device button selects the control. The pointing device
cursor takes several different shapes depending on what is going on in the program
and where it is on the screen.
• Using your finger or stylus to tap the control.
• Using the keyboard – Most controls can also be selected with the keyboard – The
Tab key on the keyboard can be used to move from one control to another. Pressing
Shift+Tab will move back one control. Once a control is selected, it can be activated
or changed with other keys. The specific keys that affect each type of control are
discussed below.
Pointing Device Cursor
The pointing device cursor is used to select items on the screen. Most of the time the
cursor appears as an arrow with a black outline filled with white. When the system is
busy doing something that will prohibit it from responding, the cursor changes to the
Wait cursor. When in MCA mode and the cursor is within the boundaries of the
spectrum display, the cursor changes to a double-ended vertical arrow .
When the cursor is hovered over a text box, it will change to a thin vertical “I-beam” .
Note that actually having the ability to input or edit requires that you click the pointing
device button to cause the edit cursor, a blinking vertical line, to appear.

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Command Button
The most common control in the CAPTUS® 4000e is the command button, for
example the command button. A command button can be activated as
described below:
• positioning the pointing device over the button and clicking the pointing
device's left button once,
• tapping the button with your finger or stylus,
• using the Tab key on the keyboard to move the highlight from control to
control until the desired control is highlighted, then press the Enter key, or
• holding down the Alt key and pressing the letter in the command button
caption which is underlined. (In the example button, this would be Alt+C).
Activating a command button will cause it to perform the specified function. This may
involve additional dialog boxes or various other modes of interaction with the user.
Frame
A frame groups various controls together into a logical group. Any type of control may
be located within a frame. The only control type that is affected by being in a frame is
the radio button.
Radio Button
Radio buttons are used to select options. They are called radio buttons because they
behave like the selector buttons on a car radio – only one of the buttons in a group
may be selected at a time.
A button may be selected using the following methods:
• positioning the pointing device over the desired button and clicking one time,
• tapping the radio button with your finger or stylus, or
• by using the Tab key to select a set of buttons and then using the up and
down arrow keys ( ) to move from one button in the group to another.
A selected button has a dot in the button and an unselected button has no dot. For
example:
– Selected
– Unselected

Check Box
Check boxes are also used to select or enable various options; however, check
boxes work as individual controls not in groups. When a check box is true a “√” will
appear in the box.
A check box may be selected in the following ways:
• positioning the pointing device over the desired check box – clicking one time
will activate the box, clicking again will deactivate the box,
• tapping the check box with your finger or stylus – tapping one time will activate
the box, tapping again will deactivate the box,
• by using the Tab key to select a box and then using the Space Bar to activate
or deactivate the box,
• positioning the pointing device over the desired line and double-clicking will
activate the box, double-clicking again will deactivate the box, or
• double-tapping quickly with your finger or stylus will toggle by the desired item.
A selected box has a check in the box and an unselected box is unchecked. For

Figure 3-3
Text Entry Box
The text box is used whenever input of numeric or alphanumeric information is
required.
A text box can be selected in the following ways:
• positioning the pointing device over the box and clicking the pointing device's
left button once,
• tapping the box with your finger or stylus, or
• using the Tab key on the keyboard to move from control to control until the
desired text box is highlighted or the cursor appears in the text box.
When the information in a box is highlighted, typing will replace the highlighted
information and the previous contents will be lost. If you wish to edit the existing
information, use either the left or right arrow ( or ) to move the cursor to the
appropriate location. As soon as the cursor moves, the highlight will be removed. The
contents of the text box can then be edited. The following control keys are active
during editing:
Delete ....................... Deletes the character after the cursor
Backspace ................ Deletes the character before the cursor
Right Arrow ............... Moves one character to the right
3-4 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS August 15
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Left Arrow.................. Moves one character to the left
End ........................... Moves to the end of the input
Home ........................ Moves to the beginning of the input
Some text input boxes provide input verification. If the information typed in the box is
invalid, i.e. does not match the requested format (for example, an input in a box
requesting a date of 13/45/92) or falls outside the range of valid values, a warning
message will be given and the user will be forced to edit or re-input the information.
When the information in a text box is shaded, it indicates that the data is provided by
the system and cannot be edited by the user.
There is one special type of text box that is used in the CAPTUS® 4000e for input of
comments that will appear on test reports. In these boxes, up to 8,000 characters of
text may be entered. Within the box, text will automatically wrap from one line to the
next as it is typed in. The user may also move to the next line by using the Enter key.
Ctrl+Tab causes a tab to be entered into the text and the cursor to move to the next
tab position (remember pressing just Tab will move you to the next control).
Scroll Bars
There are two types of scroll bars, horizontal and vertical. They are used to change
the value of some parameter within the program.
When using the pointing device to manipulate a scroll bar, there are a number of
actions that will cause the bar to change. Clicking or tapping the arrow at an end of
the bar will cause the “value” of the scroll bar to change in that direction by an amount
referred to as a small change. Clicking or tapping the bar itself at any location
between the end arrow and the slider will cause the value to change in that direction
by an amount referred to as a large change (usually 8 to 32 times the amount of a
small change). The slider may also be moved by placing the pointing device’s cursor
on the slider, pressing the left pointer button down and holding it there while the slider
is “dragged” to the desired position. This can also be accomplished by tapping and
holding the slider with your finger or stylus and “dragging”.
The scroll bar may also be adjusted from the keyboard. The scroll bar is activated
through the Tab key. When it is active the slider will blink. The slider can then be
positioned using the following keys:
Up Arrow ................... Moves the slider a small change up or to the right
Right Arrow ............... Moves the slider a small change to the right or up
Down Arrow............... Moves the slider a small change down or to the left
Left Arrow.................. Moves the slider a small change to the left or down
Home ........................ Moves the slider all the way to the left or down
End ........................... Moves the slider all the way to the right or up
August 15 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3-5
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Spin Control
The spin control is also used to adjust values. The control consists of two back to
back arrows. Clicking an arrow with the pointing device causes the value under
control to change in the specified direction. The spin button can only be controlled
with the pointing device, your finger or stylus.
List Controls
There are two types of “list” controls used in the CAPTUS® 4000e. Both appear quite
similar on the screen (refer to bottom of Figure 3-1). The only difference in
appearance is that on the Drop-Down Combo control, the arrow is not attached to text
box portion, while on the Drop-Down List control the arrow is attached. In function
both controls are similar except for one item. On the Drop-Down Combo control the
user can either enter new data directly into the text box or select from the list. In the
Drop-Down List control the user can only select from the list.
To select an entry from the list, use the pointing device left button to click the down
arrow or tap the down arrow with your finger or stylus. The list will appear. If there are
more items on the list than can be shown, vertical scroll bars will appear on the right
edge of the list. Place the pointer over the desired entry and double-click the left
pointing device button or tap the desired entry with your finger or stylus. The box will
retract and only the selected item will be displayed.
Menu Bars
Across the top of many forms you will find a menu bar. In the example, the menu bar
in Figure 3-1 contains two items: File and Setup. These are referred to as the top-
level menu items. A menu item can be selected either with the pointing device or by
typing Alt+K where K is the letter underlined in the name of the menu item. In some
cases, the top-level menu item causes action to be taken immediately. In other cases,
selecting it will cause another dialog box or menu to appear.
Buttons
Buttons are graphic symbols located on the user module test screens (refer to Figure
3-4 and Figure 3-6). The buttons that are in color are active or enabled and therefore
are selectable. The buttons that are grayed are inactive or disabled and therefore not
selectable.
3-6 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS August 15
CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS® 4000e
Figure 3-4
A button can be activated in the following ways:
• positioning the pointing device over the button and clicking the pointing
device's left button once,
• tapping the button with your finger or stylus, or
• using the Tab key on the keyboard to move the highlight from button to button
until the desired control is highlighted and then press the Enter key.
Activating a button causes it to perform the specified function. This may involve
additional dialog boxes or various other modes of interaction with the user.
Keyboard Control
Most commands or actions can also be activated by keyboard strokes. The command
buttons and menu bar items are all controlled from the keyboard in the same manner.
Each word has one letter underlined. Holding down the Alt key, and then pressing the
underlined letter on the keyboard activates the selection. Almost every action in the
CAPTUS® 4000e can be accomplished from keyboard control in this manner.
CAPTUS SCREENS
The CAPTUS® 4000e Main screen appears as shown in Figure 3-5. This screen provides
access to all the user modules (Quality Assurance, Thyroid Uptake, Lab Tests, Wipe Test,
Bioassay, Time Activity Analysis, MCA). At the bottom of the screen, access is provided to
General Setup modules (Setup), an Isotope Reference Library (Isotopes), Archived results
(Archives) and contact information for Capintec, Inc. (About). To select a module, move the
pointing device’s cursor over the name of the module you wish to select. A highlight box will
appear around the module title. Then, single left-click to activate the module. A module can
also be selected by tapping the name of the module you wish to select with your finger or
stylus.
Note: The Custom Protocol and Absorbed Dose ALERT selections shown below are
optional modules and must be purchased separately in addition to the CAPTUS®
4000e system. The related button will be displayed on the Main screen after a valid
license is entered for each module in Setup.
